About this product

This compact countertop caddy from established British homeware brand, Minky, is designed to discreetly collect scraps and reduce landfill contributions.
This 3.5 Litre capacity bin boasts a wipe-clean interior, preventing staining and sticking that can often occur with other waste containers.

The robust construction ensures durability, aligning with Minky’s reputation for quality British home goods.
While the 3.5 litre capacity is great for daily use, it's important to note that this bin will require more frequent emptying than larger options – typically once a day depending on household waste levels.
